Delighted to tell you that Paul has solved my problem - many thanks for your suggestion

....and I came across this which you may enjoy

Thanks 81C, email sent - of course I doubt if I'll get a reply till next week since it is Eggster

Thanks Julian - ebay seem to have none available at all!

If anyone has one available, please PM me

Ah That does make life somewhat more difficult! Not awfully sure what else to suggest, I'm afraid!

Jordan - Have you tried putting it in a sealed plastic bag and the leaving it in the freezer for a couple of days - That often breaks the glue bond.

Perhaps an idea for your next one, then!

Big Jim - condolences - we have been "adopted" by a feral tom (probably a farm cat) who turned up one day, completely wild, and who has gradually come to be tamed (semi) - we think that he was an older kitten and now think he is about 15 months - one of the nicest-natured cats we've had, but there is no way that he will ever accept being put in a travelling-basket to visit the vets. We'd be devastated when/ if we lost him, and can understand how you feel. Hopefully it was quick and he suffered as little as possible. RIP. small furry person. Jim - just thought you'd like to know that your "Foster-cat" could almost be the the twin of our feral tom - i know they say that "all black cats look alike in the dark" - but the resemblance is uncanny!

I had the immense pleasure of seeing "Los Karr Quays" many years ago, and of meeting Mike Scott who I believe was involved in the building - always found the use of REAL "wet stuff" on an exhibition layout VERY impressive - does the layout still exist?

I'd have been tempted to not fill in the left-hand side - I think it would have worked rather well with a brick wall either side, and a set back gas-lamp street-light as a rather dark and gloomy back alley "cut-through" to the factory behind - possibly with a "night-bird" propping up the lamppost. waiting for her feller to come away from work Far-be-it from me to suggest a "customer"!)

Have ridden, but never owned one - very nice indeedy!

I was the owner - for a short while of the" shortest metro in the world" - I got hit from behind by a Range Rover with bull-bars on the A9, and the entire rear of the car wound up hard against the back of the driver and passengers seats ( fortunately there was nobody in the back! )and the rear wheels were hard against the doors - I actually got out. "Duke-style", through the drivers door window - The Range Rover had a small scratch on one front wing. The Metro was not a car that I'd ever recommend to anybody, under any circumstances, after that experience - especially as it had had its MOT 3 days previously., and passed with flying colours!
